MESOP ALERT : THE DIALOGUE PARTNER AS REGIONAL AGGRESSOR – Iran arming Yemen’s Huthi rebels since 2009: UN report
Agence France Presse – 1 May 2015 – United Nations, United States: Iran has been shipping weapons to Yemen’s Huthi rebels since at least 2009, according to a confidential UN report, indicating that Tehran’s support dates back to the early years of the Shiite militia’s insurgency. The report by a panel of experts was presented to the Security Council’s Iran sanctions committee last week as the United Nations seeks to broker an end to the Saudi-led air campaign in Yemen and a return to peace talks. http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Middle-East/2015/Apr-30/296469-iran-arming-yemens-huthi-rebels-since-2009-un-report.ashx?utm_content=buffer3590d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer
